Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Food Processor
- Frying Pan
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 6 (3-ounce) packages Flavored Jello Various flavors like cherry, orange, lemon, lime, berry blue, and grape are great choices.
- 1 ½ (14-ounce) cans Sweetened Condensed Milk Provides a rich, creamy texture that balances out the fruity layers.
- 6 packets Unflavored Gelatin Used to set the creamy layers for the jello dessert.
- 9 cups Water Essential for dissolving both the jello and gelatin.
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch glass baking dish with something neutral tasting like butter, avocado oil, or cooking spray and set aside.
- For your first layer, add your flavored jello and half of a packet of unflavored gelatin (about 1 ½ teaspoons) to a small bowl or container and stir in 1 cup of hot water. Stir until the jello and gelatin dissolve fully, being careful not to stir too hard and create a lot of bubbles. Set aside to cool to room temperature while you make the white layer.
- Add ¼ cup of cool water to a medium bowl then sprinkle a full packet of gelatin (about 3 teaspoons) on top and allow the gelatin to absorb the water for 1 minute. Do not stir.
- Once done, mix in ¾ cup of hot water and stir to allow the gelatin to dissolve fully before adding in ½ can of sweetened condensed milk. Set aside. This will be 2 of your white layers.
- Now that your first layer of flavored jello is cooled, gently pour it in your prepared glass pan. You may have to tilt the pan a bit to make sure the jello covers the whole surface. Then carefully place it on a flat shelf in your fridge to set for 20 minutes.
- While that sets, you can prepare your next flavored jello by following the same steps and method as for your first layer, that way it’s cooled down to room temp by the time you’re ready for it.
- Once your first layer has set, gently pour in ¾ cup of your white mixture on top, using a silicone spatula or spoon to pour over to help minimize bubbles. I would recommend leaving your baking dish in the fridge and pouring your layer from there. Let chill for 20 minutes.
- Repeat your layers, making a new batch of the white layer anytime you need it (you will have to make it 2 more times) and make sure you give it enough time to cool so it doesn’t cause the other jello layers to bleed into it. Let each layer cool in the fridge for 20 minutes before adding another, alternating between a flavored jello and your white layer. You should finish with red as your last layer.
- Cut into cubes and serve!
